Ela – Between Feb. 24 and March 24, The Graham Star ran a 5-part series on an intricate lawsuit in neighboring Swain County, using court documents and those wishing to go on-the-record to paint an in-depth picture on the allegations from Cooper Creek Trout Farm owner Gerry Laschober against Swain County Sheriff Curtis Cochran, as well as others.
